Gaara woke up on Monday morning to the smell of freshly cooking bacon and eggs. Today was the day that Gaara and Neji would make their relationship known, and to tell you the truth, Gaara was slightly nervous. He wasn't nervous about whether people would accept their relationship, he knew they would, he was more nervous about what fangirls would say, or do, to him for taking their precious Neji away from them. But it's not like they would do anything too mentally (or physically) scarring to him...would they? Oh well, that can be dealt with when it happened, but for now Gaara was just going to get dressed, eat his breakfast, and then go to school. Well that was his goal anyways, but when Gaara walked down into his dining room to see his boyfriend and his cousin eating with his brother and sister his normal morning routine changed slightly.
"N-Neji?" Gaara asked as he turned bright red noting that Neji was already in his school uniform (1), whereas he was still in his raccoon pyjamas. Well this wasn't what Gaara imagined his Monday morning to be like at all.
"Hey Gaara, I hope you don't mind that me and Hinata are here." Neji said as he ate his peanut butter toast like it was an everyday thing, well it probably was an everyday thing but at his own house; not Gaara's.
"N-no I'm not mad just...surprised." Gaara said while he took a seat at the table beside Neji. "B-but when did you get here...actually, and I don't mean to be rude, but why are you here?" Gaara asked while he took a plate of bacon and an egg and started eating.
"Well me and Hinata are here to walk you to school, and we got here about..." Neji paused to look at the clock on the microwave. "30 minutes ago." Neji said as he finished his piece of toast.
Gaara dropped his fork on his plate at hearing this. "Y-you got here half and hour ago?" Gaara asked as he slowly turned around to look at Neji.
"Yeah, why?" Neji asked as he drank his orange juice.
Gaara turned to look at the clock. It was 8:00. School started it 20 minutes. And cue panic attack...now. "WAAAAAH! 20 minutes?" Gaara yelled out as he ran up the stairs and into his room to get ready for school. Everyone sweat dropped. Neji scratched the back of his head.
"Uh...is he going to be okay?" Neji asked Temari as they heard Gaara pulling out all of his clothes in his dresser in an effort to find his school uniform.
Temari just smiled at Neji. "He's just dandy. More toast?" Temari asked as she beckoned to the plate of toast in front of Neji. Neji deadpanned.
"Uh, I'm good thanks." This family is insane. Neji thought as he stared at his cousin Hinata who was failing at trying to hold her giggles in. Just as Neji was about to ask her what was so funny (AN. Oh Neji, isn't it obvious?) Gaara came rushing down the stairs. Well that was quick.
"Mari-channnnnn, why didn't you wake me uppppp?" Gaara whined out to his older sister as he was brushing his hair to get the tangles out of it. Temari just smiled at him.
"Oh Gaa-kun, where would be the fun in that?" Temari said while giggling at her little brothers antics. "Now come over here or you're going to get the brush stuck in your hair." Temari said while beckoning Gaara to sit on her lap. Gaara just pouted.
"Mari-chan, you're embarrassing me." Gaara said as his face turned red as he noticed Neji trying to contain his laughter at him. "I can do this myself." He mumbled into his hands as he tried to cover up his face.
Temari simply snorted in reply. As Temari was getting the tangles out of her hair Gaara was still trying to hide his embarrassment in front of his boyfriend. I mean really; out of all the days Gaara could have slept in Neji just had to be at his house, didn't he. After Temari finished brushing his hair he felt like he could somewhat relax. So now that he was calm he got off of his sisters lap and went back to sit beside Neji, still with a slightly pink tint on his cheeks. As Gaara sat down no one could contain their laughter anymore. This caused Gaara to turn bright red again.
"S-shut up you guys." Gaara said as he buried his face in his hands and trying to make himself as small as he could have. As the laughter subsided to just a few chuckles and giggles here and there Gaara uncovered his face to try and eat.
"Awww, Tanu-chan don't be so embarrassed." Neji said to his 'boyfriend' as he turned towards him. Kankuro burst out laughing. Everyone turned to stare at him.
"What's so funny Kankuro?" Temari asked as she stared at her older brother.
"Gaara's nickname! 'Tanu-chan'! Oh man, and I though Pandy was funny!" Kankuro said as his laughter subsided into mere chuckles. And just as Gaara's blush was going away it came back full force.
"S-shut up Kankuro. Neji gave me it. It's short for 'Tanuki'." Gaara said as his blush was slowly fading away. Kankuro just stared at Gaara and then he burst out laughing again. This time Temari laughed along with him.
Neji, Gaara and Hinata simply stared at them like they were crazy. "W-why are you guys laughing now?" Gaara asked as he shifted uncomfortably in his chair.
"T-tanuki, as in the name for the Japanese raccoon dog?" Kankuro asked out between his chuckles.
"Y-yeah, why?" Gaara asked warily, not knowing if he should ask or not. Oh he wished he hadn't asked.
Kankuro and Temari stopped their laughing long enough to compose themselves and answer Gaara. "G-Gaara, Tanuki are famous for having abnormally large..." Temari started giggling immaturely.
"They are famous for having large what?" Gaara asked hesitantly.
Temari and Kankuro simply stared at him before Kankuro answered him. "They are famous for abnormally large testicles Gaara!" Neji and Gaara turned bright red.
"W-what!" They both screamed out completely embarrassed. Even Hinata was slightly red at hearing this, but yet she laughed along with Temari and Kankuro.
"It's true Gaara, in Japanese folklore Tanuki were always drawn with abnormally large testicles. Oh man, this is just what I needed this morning." Kankuro said as he wiped his eyes from tears that had formed due to him laughing so hard. Gaara and Neji just tried to sink down into their chairs to make them disappear. Unfortunately it didn't work.
After Temari stopped laughing she looked at the clock, noting the time. 8:20. "You guys we should go now, or else we will be late." Temari said as an occasional giggle still left her mouth. So everyone cleaned up their dishes and made their way to the door. But Gaara stopped halfway.
"Mari-chan, I forgot to brush my teeth!" Gaara said as he stared at his older sister. Temari simply stared at him.
"Yeah, so?" Temari asked as she put her shoes on. Gaara pouted.
"Well I have to go brush them, I still have food in my teeth." Gaara said while still pouting.
Kankuro threw a pack of mint gum at his face. "Eat a piece of that. No time to brush your teeth." Kankuro said while he put his shoes on. So Gaara took a piece of gum out of the package, placed it in his mouth and threw the pack of gum back at his brother. Ha, take that you mean older brother, feel the wrath of mint gum!
Gaara started chewing his gum as he bent down to pick up his shoes. After putting them on everyone left the house and started walking to school. Temari and Kankuro were in the front and Gaara, Neji and Hinata were in the back, Neji and Gaara holding hands of course.
"Hi!" Hinata said as she walked beside Gaara, not wanting to walk beside Neji.
Gaara jumped a little at Hinata appearance. "H-hi. Hinata r-right?" Gaara stammered out, not used to talking to any girl besides his sister. Hinata smiled brightly at Gaara.
"Yep! I'm Neji's cousin!" Hinata said brightly. Gaara smiled at Hinata. "Now Gaara is Neji ever hurts you, you come and tell me right away, okay?" Hinata said sternly.
Gaara frowned somewhat at this. "Hinata, Neji would never hurt me. Would you Neji?" Gaara asked as he turned towards his boyfriend.
"No of course not Gaara." Neji said nervously. Hinata glared at her cousin while Gaara just beamed up at him. Neji, you had better hope that you never hurt Gaara. Hinata thought as they continued on their journey to school.

Temari, Kankuro, Neji, Hinata and Gaara all made it to school just as Naruto and Kiba pulled up to the school in Naruto's car.
"Hey guys!" Naruto yelled out as soon as he spotted Gaara.
Gaara looked up when he his friends voice to see Naruto and Kiba walking towards him and his group.
"H-Hey Naruto, Kiba." Gaara said when the two reached him. "How are you guys today?" He asked as the group of 7 people made their way into the school.
"Ah we're good, how are you?" Naruto asked Gaara as the group entered to busy lobby of their school. School banners, posters, and fliers decorated the lobby in the school colours, which were dark purple and light blue.
"I-I'm good." Gaara said with a smile as the large group tried to make their way to their lockers. Naruto looked beside Gaara to see Neji and a girl he had never seen before.
"Hi Neji, and who's this pretty girl, I don't believe I remember seeing your pretty face around school before." Naruto said as he moved beside the girl, leaving Kiba to talk to Kankuro.
Hinata blushed at Naruto. "I-I'm Hinata, Neji's cousin. Who are you?" Hinata asked as she looked up at Naruto.
Naruto smiled down at Hinata. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki. Believe it!" Naruto said as he thrust his thumb into his chest.
Hinata giggled at Naruto. "Well hi Naruto. It's nice to meet you!" Hinata said as she smiled up at Naruto.
After a couple minutes of small talk with Hinata, Naruto, Gaara and Kiba's lockers came into view.
"Well bye Hinata it was nice talking to you!" Naruto said as he went to catch up with Kiba. Neji and Gaara shared a chaste kiss before Gaara walked up to Naruto and Kiba, but then quickly walked past them as they started whistling.
"Shut up." Gaara said as his face turned bright red.
Naruto and Kiba just giggled at their friend. "But Panda-chan," Kiba started to say to Gaara. "You and Neji are just so cute together, we can't help but express that!" Kiba said with a mock innocent face. Sometimes, Gaara really hated his friends.

"Whew!" Gaara said as he and Neji made their way out of their first period class that day: Gym with Gai-sensei. "I am so glad that class is over!"
Neji looked down at his 'boyfriend' and smiled at him. "Oh Gaara, Gym class isn't that bad." Neji said, chuckling at the pout Gaara gave him.
"Well that's only 'cause you're good in Gym, where I suck in anything physical." Gaara said.
Neji smirked slyly. "Oh, I can think of a few physical things I would want you to suck in Ga-a-ra." Neji said and then licked the shell of Gaara's ear, causing him to turn redder then he ever had.
"N-Neji!" Gaara shrieked at his boyfriend. "Not at school, people could hear you!" He hissed embarrassed.
"Oh, then would you like me to say these things to you in your bedroom, Tanu-chan?" Neji asked seductively.
"Neji..." Gaara said in a warning tone.
"Fine fine. But you're just so adorable Tanu-chan. And you're even more adorable when you're embarrassed." Neji said as he leaned over and kissed Gaara gently on his head.
Gaara giggled at his boyfriend. "Neji..." Gaara trailed off, not having anything to say. As Neji and Gaara made their way into the busiest hall of the school, everything seemed to get louder. This hall was what the students called 'Havoc Hall'(2). It was the hall that most of the older kids had their full lockers, where most of the younger kids had their half lockers. It was also the hallway that lead off into most of the other hallways in the school. It was also the hallway that Neji had his locker in. So in other words the hallway that Neji's fangirls flocked to.
"Hey Gaara..." Neji started to say as he started to see the beginning of his fan club at his locker. "Stay close to me, okay?" He asked as he started to speed up, trying to get through the crowd in the hallway.
Gaara got a confused look on his face. "Why?" He asked as Neji grabbed tighter on his hand.
"Fangirls." Was all Neji offered to his boyfriend. Gaara looked confused for a moment more before a look of realization made itself present across his features.
"Oh..." Gaara said as he and Neji sped up towards the longer-haired males locker.
Once they reached his locker the loud chattering of the fangirls filled the hallway. Many fangirls were yelling out how much they loved Neji, how hot Neji was, and how much they wanted him. But one shout stood out the most.
"Hey, who's that faggot redhead with Neji-sama!" One girl shouted out over the others. All was silent. Until...
"Who said that!" Neji bellowed as he spun around faced the crowd of his fangirls. "I said who said that!" He bellowed again. The crowd opened up and a girl with red hair and glasses was pushed forward. The girl stumbled and nearly fell when she got into the middle of the crowd. Neji's eyes grew cold at the sight of the girl.
"You were the one who said that?" Neji hissed out furiously.
The girl's face paled considerably. "Y-yes N-Neji-s-sama." The girl stuttered out; frightened. No one had ever seen the Hyuuga so mad before!
Neji walked to the girl and bent down so he was at level with her ear. "If I ever hear you say anything like that about my boyfriend again I will personally make your life so terrible Hell would seem like a better choice, got it?" Neji hissed into the girl's ear.
"Y-yes Neji-sama." The girl stuttered out before scurrying back into the crowd to get away from the furious Hyuuga. Neji turned around only to see a shuddering Gaara standing beside his locker.
Neji rushed over to Gaara. "Gaara, what's wrong?" Neji asked as he cupped his 'boyfriends' cheeks in his hands. Gaara's green eyes were shining with unshed tears. Before Neji knew what was happening Gaara launched himself onto his boyfriend. "G-Gaara!" Neji cried out, startled at his 'boyfriend'.
"Thank you!" Gaara said into Neji's ear. Now Neji was confused.
"For what?" Neji asked as he moved his hands to hug Gaara back.
Gaara pulled away from his boyfriend to give him a beautifully breathtaking smile. "For standing up for me!" Gaara said before letting go of his boyfriend and then bending down to pick up some books that Neji had dropped. Neji looked at his boyfriend in pure wonder. Gaara looked up at his boyfriend confused. "What?" He asked.
"Well of course I would stand up for you Gaara! You're my boyfriend, and no one makes fun of the precious people in my life, you got that?" Neji said as he moved over to his boyfriend and cupped his cheeks once more. Gaara blushed at the intensity of Neji's gaze.
"P-precious person?" Gaara asked as he stared up into his boyfriends milky white eyes.
Neji smiled down at his 'boyfriend'. "Yes Tanu-chan; you are one of my precious people in my life." Neji backed away from Gaara and picked up the books that had fallen to the floor...again. Poor books, they were so abused. If you listened closely enough you might even hear their screams of pain.
After Neji grabbed all the stuff he needed he closed his locker shut, walked over to Gaara, grabbed his hand and left the crowd in the direction of Gaara's locker.
"Hey Neji?" Gaara asked as he and Neji finally made it out of the hallway.
"Yeah Gaara?" Neji asked as he looked down at his 'boyfriend'.
"Thank you again." Gaara said as he smiled up at his boyfriend.
"It was no problem at all Gaara, no problem at all." Neji said as they made their way through the halls. Hinata...I think that you may be right...
